The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 769 Chapter 750 Eight: Dingzhou Great Victory Shocks the Enemy

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changqing and Duan Changhao and said: "Brother Changqing and Brother Changhao, you two should each bring your own cavalry to attack the enemy in the east of the city.

Li Jing, Brother Li, lead your cavalry to attack the enemy in the south by yourself!

Brother Li, among these people, you are the most resourceful!Just stand on your own! "

Li Jing grinned when he heard this.

"Brother, don't praise me, who doesn't know, the higher the throw, the more broken it is!

If I lose my face, where do you think I will put my face!

Since you sent me, Li Jing, to stand alone, then I will take orders.

Let's see if I can win this battle! "

Duan Wuji said to Desperate Swordsman Ye Qiusheng and Wuyin Swordsman Zhuang Ziqin: "Brother Ye, Brother Zhuang, you two attack the enemies in the west!"

The two bowed their hands.

"Deputy Duan, the last general is in command! If the two of us join forces, we won't be able to escape even an enemy!"

"Well! That's fine!"

"Brother Changhong, let us lead your army to attack the enemy in the north of the city!"

Duan Changhong nodded!
"That's good! Then let's join hands, brothers!

Brother, if you support me, brother, I am not afraid of anything! "

Duan Wuji said to the captains: "Brothers, tell our soldiers that we can't keep any of those Turks!

For that Liu Heita's army!

As long as they put down their weapons, we don't have to kill them. After all, these people are our Han Chinese!

If you can kill one less, kill one less! "

Everyone listened and nodded.

"Deputy Marshal Duan, we'll remember what you said, and we'll just do it."

Duan Wuji looked at Li Jiancheng and said: "Brother, we don't have enough people now, and there are not many people left in this camp to protect you.

I checked the terrain two days ago. There is a small lonely mountain to the south of our garrison. Although this mountain is not very high, there is only one winding road up the mountain. Why don't you lead the 800 people in our camp to hide there? Go up that hill!
Let me tell you that none of our people will go up the mountain at night, as long as anyone dares to go up the mountain, you can just shoot them all to death with arrows!

After dawn tomorrow, I will bring someone to pick you up in person!
As long as you guard against death on the hill, nothing will happen!

As long as you stay silent on the mountain, I don't think the enemy will know that you are on that mountain.

If that's the case, you are absolutely safe! "

Li Jiancheng grinned when he heard this!
"Brother, brother, I understand what you mean, don't worry, to be honest, brother, I also have a little bit of martial arts, I am not very good at other skills, maybe I don't even have the ability to protect myself!

I stick to this for one night, and I have no problem at all!

Brothers, I wish you a successful start and success in no time! "

Several people bowed their hands at Li Jiancheng after hearing this.

"Marshal, let me borrow your good words, and see you tomorrow!"

Duan Wuji said to everyone: "Okay, then let's go!
Remember, before the battle starts, we have to get as close to the enemy as possible, but don't make any noise!

Otherwise, our military operations will not be able to achieve the effect of a sneak attack.

If it is exposed in advance, then our buddies will have to work hard. "

San Yuan, Li Jing and Li Pharmacist looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Deputy Marshal Duan, what do you think we should use as a sign to launch a general attack?"

Duan Wuji said: "Let's use the ringing arrow as our name for this night's action!

After everyone heard the sound of the arrow, they immediately launched a fatal attack on the enemy with lightning speed.

Do you understand? "

"Deputy Marshal Duan, we all heard clearly, that's good, then let's set off immediately!"

Duan Wuji looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Brother, you should hurry up and lead the team up the mountain too! Now that we are all here, it will be easier for you to go!"

Li Jiancheng stood up immediately after hearing this, and said loudly to the people around him: "Anyone who does not participate in this dispatch, follow me up the mountain!
Let me tell you, we can't delay this operation!

Success or failure depends on this action tonight. "

Those who could not participate in the second operation immediately followed Li Jiancheng up the mountain!
These cavalry teams set off quietly under the leadership of their respective captains.

This road of a hundred miles, whether it is close or not, is not far!

Since it was marching at night, the speed of the team's advancement was not so fast!

Two hours later, all the teams arrived at the designated positions.

After resting for a while, everyone waited quietly for the time to launch the general attack!

There is no moonlight on this day, and it is pitch black all around!

Only on the top of the city were soldiers walking back and forth with lanterns or torches from time to time!

Under the city, Liu Heita's army and the Turkic camp were pitch black, and the entire camp was lifeless.

However, there are also individual soldiers patrolling the camp with lanterns and torches walking around from time to time.

These people are patrolling in teams, and they are also maintaining a high degree of vigilance!

These teams are generally between 30 and [-] people, and the soldiers in the teams are constantly turning back and forth, guarding against any unexpected things happening!

Duan Wuji observed for a long time, thinking of various plans to attack the enemy!

After a meal, Duan Wujiniu turned his head and said to Duan Changhong: "Brother Changhong, I think we should roughly divide our cavalry into several teams, each team should preferably have between 30 and [-] people.

Let's split up, it may be more beneficial to attack the enemy like this! "

Duan Changhong nodded after hearing this, and immediately followed suit!

Duan Wuji was afraid that some teams would not arrive in time, so he waited for about a meal. Duan Wuji said to Duan Changhong, "Brother Changhong, it's not too early now, hurry up and order all the brothers to get on the horses, everyone will do it." Get ready for battle!
Tell the brothers, we have to act fast, the faster we pay the less casualties! "

After speaking, Duan Wuji also got on his horse, and Duan Wuji drew out a loud arrow prepared in advance and shot it into the sky!
The arrow screamed and flew towards the sky, making a shrill sound. After releasing the arrow, Duan Wuji pulled out his sword from behind and swung it into the air, then rushed towards the barracks of the Turkic people first.

Seeing this appearance, Duan Changhong immediately raised his sword and rushed over.

When the other soldiers saw that their leader was so brave, the spirit leaders came up one by one, and everyone urged their horses, and they rushed over.

Since the sound of the arrow had sounded, the teams waiting to attack on the other sides immediately launched an attack.

The originally peaceful camp outside the city immediately became a mess.

The sound of killing, the hissing of horses, and the impact of weapons rang out together.

Many Turkic people and Liu Heita's army are still asleep, and they feel that their heads have been confused.

The enemy never dreamed of it!The Tang army in this brigade will be dispatched in full force.

There was nothing fierce about this battle at all, and it completely turned into a massacre by Li Jiancheng's Tang army against the Turks and Liu Heita's army!

Killing people's heads rolling, blood flowing.

Once these cavalrymen of the Tang army got their hands, they would have no soft-hearted thoughts towards those enemies!

Everyone's goal is only one, that is to kill all the enemies!

The battle lasted for two meals, and the battle is basically over, but sporadic battles are still going on!
It wasn't until the east turned white that the battle outside the city was completely over!
Each team cleaned their respective battlefields, counting their own casualties.

After the sky brightened, Zhan Yang could finally see clearly, only the outside of the city was in a mess!

I saw that almost all the tents were down, and the dead bodies in the tents smelled like blood. There were all kinds of dead bodies!

Those who lacked arms and legs, those who lacked heads, all of them died miserably, there is simply no way to say it!

Duan Wuji shouted loudly towards the city: "It's already dawn, why don't you open the city gate and come out!"

The fierce battle took place below the city, and the defenders on the city had heard it a long time ago. Now that the weather is bright and bright, the situation below the city can be clearly seen.

Now hearing Duan Wuji shouting to the city, the soldiers immediately ran to report to Chai Shao.

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Open the city gate, let's go out of the city as soon as possible! If we don't go out again, it won't make sense."

Following Chai Shao's order, the four city gates were immediately opened, and the defenders in the city, led by Chai Shao and Tieniu, also rushed out from the four city gates.

After these people rushed out, they immediately joined the work of cleaning up the battlefield.

Duan Wuji urged the horse to come to Chai Shao, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Chai, you and my Brother Tieniu are in charge of cleaning up the battlefield!
I'll bring dozens of people to fetch our elder brother back from the mountains!

Um!After this battle was over, he no longer had to live that mobile life.

Let's use Dingzhou City as the base camp for our activities in the future! "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "Brothers, then you all go and come back quickly!
You don't have to worry about things here, with us here, it won't take long for us to clean up the battlefield! "

Duan Wuji said to a small group of cavalry behind him: "You people, come with me!

You follow me to pick up our marshal! "

After hearing this, these people followed Duan Wuji and rushed straight to the mountain.

An hour later, Duan Wuji and the others had arrived at the hill where Li Jiancheng was hiding.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Duan Wuji ordered the soldiers to shout to the mountain together!

The soldiers hiding on the mountain heard the shouts of the soldiers below, and stuck their heads out one after another.

Seeing that the soldiers at the foot of the mountain were all in the costumes of the Tang army, the hanging heart finally let go.

Several soldiers ran over and reported to Li Jiancheng about the situation down the mountain.

Hearing this, Li Jiancheng immediately stood on the winding road and looked down the mountain. This Li Jiancheng's eyes are really easy to manipulate, and he saw Duan Wuji at the bottom of the mountain at a glance.

Li Jiancheng immediately shouted loudly: "Let's all go down the mountain!

The people at the bottom of the mountain are indeed our own people, isn't that person in the middle the Deputy Commander Duan!
I think they are here to pick us up!
Let's go now!

Let's go down and inquire about the battle situation last night! "

With that said, Li Jiancheng led the crowd down the mountain.

Li Jiancheng came to Duan Wuji and asked with a smile: "Brother-in-law, how was the battle last night?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, we won the battle last night!

As for the number of casualties between the enemy and ourselves, we have not yet counted them when we came!

It is estimated that after we go back, this data will come out.

Brother, pack up our things, let's hurry over. "

There are quite a lot of things left by the army in the mountains. Because they went to battle quickly and lightly last night, many of the troops did not come and take them away last night!

There is nothing wrong now, Li Jiancheng began to order the soldiers to pack up these things, and when they finished packing up, the crowd, led by Li Jiancheng, went straight to the direction of Dingzhou City and rushed over.

By the time they arrived at Dingzhou City, the battlefield had been cleaned very clean.

All the weapons are piled up together. There are tens of thousands of these weapons, and they are really piled up like a mountain!

The enemy's corpses were also piled up into two big piles, that was piled up by Liu Heita's army, and the piled up by the Turks' corpses!

There were also hundreds of horses who died in battle, and some soldiers of the Tang Army who died in battle, all of which were placed beside them.

The puddles of blood on the ground have not been dried yet!

Puddles of blood told of the brutality of the battle just now.

Not far away, there are groups of war horses.These are the trophies of the Tang army!

Beside the horses, a group of prisoners of war kneeling darkly, all of these people have terrified expressions on their faces.

The son-in-law Chai Shao gave a detailed report to Li Jiancheng on the situation of cleaning the battlefield just now, and handed Li Jiancheng the list of cleaning the battlefield.

Li Jiancheng glanced at it and was overjoyed!

I saw it read: 870 infantrymen of our army were killed in battle, and 690 cavalrymen were killed in battle.

The enemy infantry suffered 720 casualties, 750 Turkic cavalry died, and [-] horses were obtained.

Thirty-one thousand, one hundred and twenty-five pieces of equipment such as knives and guns were obtained, and a total of fourteen thousand one hundred and twenty-five enemies were captured.

Li Jiancheng laughed when he saw it.

"Our army has won a complete victory, and this victory can finally turn the unfavorable battle situation around!

Didn't the Turkic come with [-] cavalry? Let's wipe out half of them at once. Do the remaining Turkic dare to think about it! "

Li Jiancheng looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother, take all these trophies to the city!
Bury all those who died in battle!
How to deal with the more than 1 battle floats!
If they stay in our army, how much food will they consume every day?

If they were let go, I'm afraid they went to serve as soldiers in Liu Heitat's barracks again!

Brother, do you have any good way to deal with this? "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Brother, isn't this easy to handle! Will you see how I handle these things in a while!"

Duan Wuji Niutou said to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, do your best to add these army horses to our six cavalry teams equally!

Hurry up and order people to move those weapons to the city!

Let's pick some soldiers from the cavalry team to become cavalry in a while!
Well, now our cavalry team has increased by more than 1 people!

Brother, when our cavalry team is replenished, our cavalry team will have [-] people! "

Li Jiancheng nodded and smiled.

"Well! I guess it's almost the same number!
Unexpectedly!Our team is playing more and more!

If things go on like this, our contribution to sending troops this time may not be less than that of my second brother and the others! "

"Brother, don't worry! Let's strive to surpass them! Let them never dare to underestimate us again!"
